' InGreat Britain Septemben8, 19 50 "1 ;T-he main object of the present invention isto providea satisfactory sealing. plunger, operating in-a cylinder, for dealing with a liquifiedgas, such as liquid oxygen.
, The sealing plunger of the invention includes a pair of discs with machined adjacent faces and with adjacent edges jointly providing a peripheral V-slot to receive a deformable ring which has a low coefficient of friction and which does not become brittle even at the low temperature of such a liquid (e. g., a water-dressed leather ring impregnated with beeswax, or a ring of polytetrafluoroethylene), and the discs are clamped together with an interposed distance piece or spacer which is machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion of the ring in a desirable manner on to the cylinder wall.
The accompanying drawing shows, in sectional elevation, one form of plunger seal according to the invention.
In this drawing, the plunger, for a valve stem in the form of a rod 1 l with a shoulder l2 thereon, includes two discs l3, M which are located against this shoulder, with an interposed machined spacer l5 between their machined adjacent faces, by means of a nut [6. The discs and spacer are located against turning on the rod by means of a key ll. As stated, the adjacent edges of the discs are machined to provide a V-slot, having, in this instance, an included angle of about 80, and a deformable ring [8 as aforesaid is received in this slot and pressed at a desirable pressure against the wall of the cylinder IS. A spring 20 is shown as biassing the plunger in one direction, for example, to open a valve member fast with the rod H, and 2| represents an opening through which fluid pressure can be applied to move the plunger in the other direction.
It should be understood that very great difiiculties are encountered when providing a sliding seal for such parts when associated with liquid oxygen, and it has been found that the seal of the invention is very satisfactory in service, as no embrittlement occurs in the ring [8 at such low temperatures.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liquid oxygen, an axially movable rod, a pair of axially spaced discs held on said rod, said discs having their adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot, a deformable ring in said V-slot formed of a material which has a low coeflicient of friction and which does not 7 Claims. (Cl. 309-23) ,2 become brittle even at the 1ow"temperature of the liquified gas, .a "cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and 'a spaceninterposed between said discs and machined-to a size such. as will ensure the'extru'sion of the ring, at ambient temperatures, on to thecylinderwallfin a desirable manner.
2. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liquid oxygen, an axially movable valve rod having a shoulder thereon, a pair of axially spaced discs keyed on said rod and axially located against said shoulder, said discs having their adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot having an included angle of about a deformable ring carried by said V-slot formed of a material which has a low coefficient of friction and which does not become brittle even at the low temperature of the liquified gas, a cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and a spacer interposed between said discs and machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion of the ring, at ambient temperatures, on to the cylinder wall in a desirable manner.
3. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liquid oxygen, an axially movable rod, a pair of axially spaced discs held on said rod, said discs having their'adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot, a deformable ring of water-dressed leather impregnated with beeswax, a cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and a spacer interposed between said discs and machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion ofthe ring, at ambient temperatures, on to the cylinder wall in a desirable manner.
4. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liquid oxygen, an axially movable rod, a pair of axially spaced discs held on said rod, said discs having their adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot, a deformable ring of polytetrafluoroethylene, a cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and a spacer interposed between said discs and machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion of the ring, at ambient temperatures, on to the cylinder wall in a desirable manner.
5. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liqquid oxygen, an axially movable valve rod having a shoulder thereon, a pair of axially spaced discs keyed on said rod and axially located against said shoulder, said discs having their adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot having an included angle of about 80, a deform-able ring of water-dressed leather impregnated with beeswax, a cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and a spacer interposed between said discs and machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion of the ring, at ambient temperatures, on to the cylinder wall in a desirabl manner.
6. For dealing with a liquified gas such as liquid' oxygen, an axially movable valve rod having a shoulder thereon, a pair of axially spaced discs keyed on said rod and axially located against said shoulder, said discs having their adjacent faces machined to jointly provide a peripheral V-slot having an included angle of about 80, a deformable ring of polytetrafluoroethylene, a cylinder in which said discs and ring slidably operate, and a spacer interposed between said discs and machined to a size such as will ensure the extrusion of the ring, at ambient temperatures, on to the cylinder wall in a desirable manner.
7. A piston adapted to work in a cylinder under the influence of a liquified gas comprising an axially movable rod, two discs on said rod having their opposed faces beveled outwardly and away from one another and with the bevel extending through the peripheral faces of the discs to provide a peripheral V-shaped slot, the walls of said 2,632,678 A v j .4 slot being substantially smooth, a deformable sealing ring in said slot and having a low coeificient of friction and being brittle resistant even at the normally low temperature of the liquified gas, and means for moving the wall of said slot towards each other into engagement with the opposite side faces of the ring to impart to the ring motion of translation radially of said discs and to deform at least the outer portion of said ring to cause its outer face to tightly engage the inner wall of the cylinder.
